Red amazes me every day. Fanny has taken a shine to him, and she comes over to him, leans over him and blocks his view of the sheep. This is how Fanny shows affection, she just leans right into you, she is increasingly fond of Red, who is not distractable when he is working sheep. So he just peers around Fanny’s leg. I think just about any other dog I have ever known would have long taken off, or at least backed away but Red didn’t budge, even as she got closer. Eventually, I worried that Fanny would step on his paws, so I called him off.
